Horrible strike.  Buck was right, the plate was four feet wide.

I don't mind last night's mistake as much as I mind the Game 4 (I think it was four) ump who admitted that he called a ball because the catcher, who knew it was a strike, upstaged the ump by starting for the dugout.  Baseball has a real problem with umpire egos.

All terrible, terrible calls. All in one direction.

All my life, I've never seen my favorite pro team win a championship.  I guess I have now.  It's not as exhilarating as I thought it would be.  Maybe I'll feel differently when the other 50th anniversary team I favor wins one in June.

I think it was Phil Mickelson who said that winning never feels as good as losing feels bad.

While I think it's mostly true, I also think it's bull-*****.

You need to enjoy the ***** out of it and don't feel one bit guilty about feeling good about it.

I spent 22 years in a profession that was essentially based upon competition, and I would venture that Lefty is right (pun intended).  I'd savor a win on a trial or a major motion or appeal or something for about a day.  I have losses that still haunt me.

(Certainly, I have no guilt over the Nats winning--but I will mention, @SDS, that the website autocorrecting "Nats" to "Pats" is disgusting.)

Nats. 

I talked to one of the Hogs in the late 90s who said he barely remembered any of the Super Bowls they won, but the one they lost to Oakland haunted him every day.

It was never anything different. 

It was--twice tonight, I had that autocorrect experience.  (And no, not on other websites.)  Oh well.  Looks like it's good now, whatever happened.

It's fight night.

I'll take Krusher Kovalev over Canelo. And I'll take Nate Diaz against the whole world!

I went 0-2 and I can't believe it!

Are you talking about "Top" Rank Boxing on ESPN last night?  Because that was a joke.

DAZN, not Top Rank. Different promoters. And I didn't actually get to see any of the fights, as I was at work, because they wouldn't start the Kovalev/Canelo fight until the UFC event had ended.

Gotcha.  The two Top Rank fights on Saturday might have combined for 3 rounds.  The first one was over in 1:05, and the second one did not last three full rounds.
